Compared to the seawater desalination plant that was built in Santa Barbara 25 years ago, this treatment plant will use about half the energy to produce a gallon of water.
But just because seawater desalination has become less energy-intensive, doesn't mean we should start building desalination plants everywhere.
And we can make up the difference through a combination of stormwater harvesting and seawater desalination.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, it undergoes a number of chemical reactions.
But I'll tell you as more carbon dioxide enters the ocean, the seawater pH goes down.
As more carbon dioxide has entered the ocean, the seawater pH has gone down, which basically means there has been an increase in ocean acidity.

In fact, they naturally improve water quality, filtering it as they feed off of sunlight and nutrients in the seawater.
One setting offers protection from this radiation and an alternative energy source: the hydrothermal vents that wind across the ocean floor, covered by kilometers of seawater and bathed in complete darkness.
A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in the Earth’s crust where seawater seeps into magma chambers and is ejected back out at high temperatures, along with a rich slurry of minerals and simple chemical compounds.
The seawater expelled here is highly alkaline and lacks carbon dioxide, but is rich in methane and offers more hospitable temperatures.
